you are who thus give up the cause of
your country to either civil or religious
denominations.
Issachar, | wish thy children had all
died in the first generation. Thy off
spring is too They are in
church and in State. Whosoever will
attend any place of c%oncourse will find
many of thy descendants SO stupid that
they every day bring themselves under
heavy burdens which they might easily
prevent"
These extracts show the condition
of things in North Carolina 100 years
ago. They r. good reading to-day.
and will doubtless be equally applica-
bic 100 years hence. There are two
classes, the feao and the many, who will
always keep up a condition of things
portrayed in this sermon. Power al
ways drifts from the many to the few.
Occasionally some great revulsion may
throw it back, but it 0 drifts again
to the few. One of these great revul-
sions was seen in the revolution inau-
gurated by the Regulators in North
Carolina. The insolence of Office, the
proud mans contumely, the oppressor's
wrong, the laws delay, brought on a
condition of things that the free spirit
of the colonists would not and did not
endure. Nothing less than the abso-
lutte equality of all men before the law
was their aim and purpose. Their in
tentions we're honest; their struggle
was patriotic and intelligent they won
the victory they established a govern
ment upon the broad and solid foun-
dalton that all men are free and equal
and have the equal rights to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.
The farmersare the most conservative
and the most patriotic element of soci-
ETY.. They should guard with eternal
vigilance that inestimable Inheritance
and birthright which is theirs as Amer
lean citizens. They should organize
intelligently and earnestly and make
common cause with the laboring clas-
ses in securing protection against
the encroachments of the few. They
should not, like Issachar, couch down,
and take two burdens upon their strong
shoulders. \. Nc j.

AT THE BARS.

wait in the dusk at the bars in the lane,
Waiting and watching at close of day;
when the world is stilled in the solemn hour
As it Yields for a space to the nights brief power
And the moonshine chases the daylight away.
In the mystical purple of twilight the hills
And valleys are wrapped. and the forces of night
Have conquered the day and driven him far
To the west. where the sentinel evening star
Keeps a watchful eye on his sullen flight.
From the darkening meadows the tinkling bells
Ring low and clear on the perfumed air,
Where a thousand delicate odors blend
From flower and bud that to Heaven ascend.
An offering purer than human prayer.
The querulous plant of the whippoorwilI,
Hiding away in its lonely nest.
Quivers and thrills with a note of pain.
Like a lover mourning who loves IN vain.
Or a lost soul crying to Heaven for rest.
WHY cometh she not, my beauty. my Bess,
With the tender eyes, SO gentle and kind;
She is late; even now with nOiseless fall
DER the dull earth settles a goossamer pail.
And the bat darts by on the rising wind.
With a nameless dread that l cannot quell,
And a fancy filled with doubt and fears
[ peer in vain where the CHASTITY trees
Frolic and play with the wOOing breeze
And the winding path on the hill appears.
At the bars l wait. though the dews are falling,
She will surely come though the honr be late:
Hank. there's a step on the path coming near,
Aha. and a call that / know, low and clear
SO well does my brown beauty know / will wait.
She is coming at last! How the glad earth smiles
And the breezes of Heaven grow sweeter;
See the clover heads bend in a dying caress
As they tremble and bow meath her foot's light
press,
On the path where I'm waiting to meet her.
Her foot falls as light as the dew on the grass,
So quiet and shy as she comes to my side,
As her brown dreamy eyes look so softly i'm mine,
They rival the glow of the calm star-shine.
Where is any can equal my Bess in her pride?
All day she has gathered in meadow and wood,
Sweet grasses and flowers and buttercups white:
But now, in the cleaning, when the mists lie low,
On the river brink and the faint stars show,
She comes to me here in the fading light.
So l let down the bars and my pet comes through,
With a step that a duchess mighl envy, and now
With a grateful moo and musical low,
She enters, so glossy and stately and slow,
My hree-hundred-dolla prize Attorney COW.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Cloths dipped into hot potato water
are recommended for Immediate and
complete relief in the severest cases of
rheumatism.
A piece of charcoal laid upon a burn
will ease it almost Immediately, and if
kept there about an hour, it is said.
the wound will be entirely healed.
Grained woods should be washed
with cold tea, and then, after being
wiped dry, rubbed with linseed oil.
Oilcloths should never be washed in
hot soap suds they should first be
washed clean with cold water, then
rubbed dry with a cloth wet in milk.
The same treatment applies to a stone
or slate hearth.
Lime water may be made cheaply
by taking a fresh piece of lime as large
as an egg, pouring two quarts of soft
water on it, and allowing it to stand
two Or three hours, shaking it occa-
sionally. Bottle and keep for use.
When attacked by palpitation of
the heart, let the patient lie down as
soon as possible on the right side, par
TALLY on the face. In this position the
heart will resume it's action almost
Immediately.
To cure a felon, saturate a bit of
grated wild turnip the size of a bean
with spirits of turpentine, and apply
to the affected part. 1t relieves the
pain at once, and in twelve hours or
less there will be a hole in the bone.
Dress with sticking salve, and the
finger is we'll.
To preserve goods from moths, do
not use camphor in any form. Pieces
Of tar paper laid in fur boxes and in
closets r a better protection. Five
cents will buy enough to equip all the
packing boxes and closets of a large
house for a year.
Never place fresh eggs near lard,
fruit, cheese, fish or other articles from
which any odor arises. The eggs are ex-
tremely active in absorbing power,
and in a very short time they are con-
taminated by the particles of objects in
their neighborhood, by which the pc
culiar and exquisite taste of a new-laid
egg is destroyed.
A bottle Of turpentine should be
kept in every house, for its uses are
numerous. A few drops sprinkled
where cockroaches congregate will ex-
terminate them at. once; also ants, red
or black. Moths will flee from the
odor of it. Besides, it is an excellent
application for a burn or cut. It will
take ink stains out of white muslin,
when added to soap, and will help to
whiten clothes if adden to them while
boiling. It is also excellent for Group.
Put a few drops on a cloth and place
where the sufferer may inhale.

A SERMON 100 YEARS OLD.
But Truth in 1910 is Truth in 1887.
IFor the PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

IFor the PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
A serman by Herman Husbands,
the Quaker leader of the Regulators,
1910, on the text:
"Issachar is a strong ass, COUGHING down
between two burdens. And he saw that
rest was good and the land that it was
pleasant; and he bowed his shoulder to
bear, and became a servant to tribute"
Jacob was the first mentioned in
Scripture who preached to asses but
many have been thus employed since
his time. This is a most shameful
m~onosyllable, when applied to reason
able creatures men endowed with
reason and understanding to degener-
ate so basely. What a falling off is
here
What do these burdens mean which
lssachar stopped down SO decently un-
der? Civil and religious slavery, no
doubt. Strange that such a number
of rational creatures should have two
such insupportable burdens. Oh! [
had forgotted that they are asses, for
no people of any rational spirit could
endure bondage.
A strong ass, in the original word,
denotes strength, but implies leanness.
And truly, all those who submit to
slavery are lean. We have not a word
of his motion. He was strong, but not
active to assert his rights and privileges.
Rest was pleasant to him, and thus it
happens now. We sit still at ease,
trusting to the good of the land, and
concluding, every one, II can live out
my time in peace and quiet forgetting
posterity and mourning not for the
Affections of Joseph"
When men thus degenerate they
will always find some n ready to fix
burdens on them. Slavery does not
come in a day it is a work of time to
make men perfect slavei. Issachar
stopped down; he we'll deserved a
heavy burden for his meanness. It is
a proper reward. Such as do not value
freedom and liberty above present
ease, deserve to be slaves. They are
blessings too valuable to be enjoyed
without care and industry to maintain
them.
Italy and Spain are not the only
places where the people believe in alb
surdities. In a land where freedom
has been the boast of every subject,
we may, perhaps, find plenty of asses.
You will say, not in America, a land
renowned for all sorts Of iberty-a
nation to which there is none equal
upon the face of the earth. In some
provinces this may be the case, but we
in North Carolina are not free. We
have sold that liberty which our an
cestors have left us. Are we free while
u laws are ~disapproved by nine
tenths of the people. Are we free
while it is out of our power to obtain
n law that is our choice. But bad as
our laws are, the execution of them is
worse. Our oppressors have got out
OF the reach of law.
Ye who, like Issachar, have sold
your liberties for love of ease, and SUBJ
NIT to burdens as. unnatural as they
are unreasonable-your characters are
drawn as asses. And worse than asses
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-04-14

Readers of all papers see much in the
advertising columns about Bright's disease
and other such disorders. These adver-
tisements offer to cure, but prevention is
still better, and that is effected by using
milk freely as food. If milk were drank
more and beer less, this country would
save millions in doctor bills and medicines.
Nothing will keep a stable so free from
bad odors as the use of dry earth, and
every one keeping horses Or cattle will
find it pays to keep a heap of it on hand,
to be used daily. A few shovelfuls of
earth scattered over the floor after clean
ing will render the air Of the apartments
pure and wholesome. The value of the
seasons manure pile must be largely in
creased by the free use of such absorbents.
The strength of the gases and liquids alb
sorbed is returned, and is the very essence
of good manure.-Scaenhfc american.
The old apprenticeship system having
fallen into "innocuous desuetude,' indus
trial scools in which boys can be taught
useful trades will soon become an absolute
necessity. For what, after all, is the object
of education? Plainly this: To fit the
young for the duties of life. Now, what
are the duties of life? Evidently to be
able to make an honest living is the first
in the list. How much are our schools
doing toward preparing the young for
this work? Practically speaking, but very
very little. A change is so imperatively
demanded by the ~exigencies of the times
that a new departure in school work must
soon be inaugurated.-Fdrmer Friend.
